Vendr – Add a Store to Any Site Quickly

A few years ago, the prospects of selling your merchandise online usually involved a steep setup fee and a knowledgeable web developer to help step you through the landmines of credit cards. Today, many of the pain points associated with launching a store have been removed opening the door to a whole new level of merchant.

Vendr is one of the companies making it easier to sell online.  In just a few steps, a merchant can list one or more items for sale and embed the shop on their own site with a store button. Customers can shop directly from the URL they originally went to and complete the purchase with Paypal or Google Checkout.

The overall layout of the store is very elegant and provides an easy browsing experience.  When customers click the shop or store button, the entire shop will pop up in an overlay on the site.  The advantage of this is that there is less skinning required to make it fit into each site’s unique design. Each item can include multiple photos to showcase each product from a variety of angles.

Amazingly, pricing starts at free for 1-5 items.  Even more suprising the top plan runs only $299.50 per year to list up to 250 items for sale.  Coupons and product discounting are provided in all but the free option and digital downloads are provided in the upper two tiers.

Three Reasons to Use Vendr:

• You don’t have an online shop and would like to add one without enlisting the help of a developer.
• You want to sell your item in multiple countries and in multiple currencies.
• You need to launch a shop literally overnight with very little effort.

Three Reasons You Wouldn’t Use Vendr:

• You have an audience that does not use Paypal or Google Checkout or you don’t feel comfortable paying the additional fees associated with both of these payment options.
• You want to include videos for each product.
• You want your customers to have a seamless shopping experience that uses the fonts and style from your full site.
